#1 Luckily, the father did not suffer cardiac arrest and die from the combined trauma of his son's fate and the stun gun.

#2 If this was a legit fire, and enough time had elapsed that people got out, police showed up and had time to organize enough to prevent re-entry, I'd agree that the house was already gone due to smoke and fumes at the least. Its where the details of how involved at that point.

#3 A father has a right to risk his life to save his son, period. You shouldn't need a state risk assessment or the approval of a bureaucratic gatekeeper before reacting. My son, my life - please get the hell out the way.

But again it was said, details in the article are lackluster.
